Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 553, Section 14: Resurrection Spells are troublesome to use; you have to fight the weak Grim Reaper first - Bonus Chapter [55]

When Diakum adjusted the balance of light and darkness and returned to the Exodar, the others didn't even need to observe him to feel the overflowing power within the Vigilant.

It's like a container full of water; any unnecessary touch will cause the water to spill out.

It has indeed reached its limit.

Not only did others feel this way, but the character card in front of Diakum was also constantly popping up notifications as if it had been infected with a virus:
Name: Diakum Zastins

Rank: Demigod Perfection → Lesser God Critical (Due to the characteristics of the Devourer of All Realms, you can devour worlds again to break through to the Lesser God level, but you will be forced to switch to the 'Glutton' path. If you want to continue to maintain the 'Twin of Light and Shadow' path, you need to pass the 'Trial of Divinity'.)
Force Path:

Holy Light (Sun God) / Void (Black Sun Lord)
The concept of power has been grasped:
[Light] Sun God - Radiant Sun Legacy, [Fire] Sun God - Radiant Sun Legacy, [Repentance] Lower-level concept of the power of forgiveness, [Eclipse] Black Sun Lord - Eclipse Legacy, [Devour] Characteristics of the Devourer of All Realms, [Mind - Seven Emotions and Six Desires] Seven Fiends Legacy.

hint!

The more concepts of power one possesses during a divine trial, the more complex the trial becomes.

hint!

Your concepts of power are poorly interconnected; please appropriately relinquish these concepts to preserve the purity of "divinity."

Whether you are purely divine is related to your compatibility with the Force, and after becoming a lesser god, it will also be directly related to the Force powers you can wield.

caveat!

[Devour Divinity] is already in the possession of Dimensius, the Devourer of All Realms. It is impossible to choose this divinity as the power concept of one's own divinity. Perhaps it is possible to try to seize it.

Because your race is the Naaru, a mythical creature of the Holy Light Force, and the Devourer of All Realms is your Shadow Naaru form, the concept of [Devour Divinity] will not affect your divine purity after you acquire it.

suggestion!

The powers of [Fire] and [Light] overlap, so it is recommended to abandon them.

The powers of "Repentance" and "Mind & Emotions" overlap and are of lower value, so it is recommended to abandon them.

caveat!

You currently possess the [True God Path - Sun God/True God Path - Black Sun Lord], and due to the 'Twin Light and Shadow' path characteristic, you can walk two True God Paths simultaneously.

However, both True God Paths are incomplete. If you wish to advance further in the Lesser God Realm, please complete the True God Paths before starting the Divine Trial.

Strength recommendations:

Keep what you should keep, and discard what you should discard! Don't be like a miser, clinging to the little junk you have and unwilling to let go. Divinity is rare, but it's not something that can't be obtained from the outside. Besides, you are a Devourer of All Realms, a born villain.

This means that if you want, you can kill a few unlucky guys and take away their divinity at any time, although it may not be suitable for you.

In short, as someone who's been there before, my advice to you at this stage is that you've already passed the stage of scavenging for scraps. From now on, the purer you are, the better.

Purity! That's the reason for being king, understand?

I had too much fun back then, jumping back and forth between the six elements and eating until my mouth was greasy. However, every gift from fate comes with a price.

Sigh, I was too dissolute when I was young, and now I've become this mediocre nobody.

I'm not going to say anything more. I need to find somewhere to cry for a while.

"Thanks, that's a really valuable suggestion."

Diakum nodded. That bastard had finally done something decent, passing on his valuable experience to him.

But how to choose is indeed a big problem.

[Repentance Divinity] can be left to your own faith faction as a "divine blessing". Leave [Flame Divinity] to Kael, as that is the most suitable path for him. The remaining power concepts can be used to form subordinates with the concepts of Sun and Eclipse.

This [Devour Divinity] is rather troublesome. It seems I have no choice but to fight Dimensius unless he is willing to give up his very useful juvenile form of the Devourer of All Realms.

But this is obviously impossible.

Without this mythical creature template, his combat power in Void form would be reduced by at least 30%, and he would no longer be able to do "sit-ups," which made Diakum feel very insecure.

However, completing the broken path to true godhood is not a major problem.
After all, Xalatas had already pointed out the next step for him: to take Anser's divine body, to bear Anser's despair, and his own divine trial must be related to this thing.

As for achieving the level of a true god like Lady Elune and Lord Sargeras, one would need to ignite the sun.

Ah, that sounds like a pretty troublesome thing.

"Sir, the Star Hunter has invited us to his starship for his funeral."

Saloras walked over somewhat weakly and said something.

Diakum said in surprise:

"Funeral? Whose funeral?"

"General Alturis the 'victim,' and the Illidari who were brutally murdered by the Fel Warband."

Saloras sighed and said:
"We arrived too late. The traitors were unable to entice these steadfast warriors to embrace fel energy, and upon realizing the siege of Mardon, they brutally murdered them."

It is said that General Alturis's soul was devoured by the Odachi Blade, and although it was released by the great warrior using the secrets of his race, it has clearly returned to the world of the dead.

Lord Illidan is in great pain; he has lost a sworn brother who has remained steadfastly by his side since the War of the Ancients.

Those demon slayers are now aboard the Illidari starship, mourning the passing of the venerable ones.

"Nonsense!"

Diakum scolded:
"He still had a chance to be saved, so why was he just stuffed into a coffin? Did Autocris offend Illidan? I've actually heard that Autocris and Illidan have some ideological differences."
"Hmm, Illidan shouldn't be that petty, right?"

"Huh? Where did you hear such outrageous rumors about demon hunters? No! That's not right. The point is, what do you mean by 'still have a chance to be saved'? The victims were torn apart by the corrupt demon hunters!"

Do we have to sew it back up?

Saloras was stunned.

She stared at Diakum in astonishment, thinking that her superior might be talking nonsense. This wasn't a game where she could just find any priest to cast a resurrection spell.

There's no such thing in the real world!
The great cycle of life and death has not yet been broken, and the dead cannot be resurrected.

"No, you can be resurrected! As long as you can afford the price."

As if seeing through Saloras's inner doubts, Dick explained:

"Aren't you curious why the Lightforged Chapter has never suffered any casualties despite the fierce battles since arriving in Azeroth?"

Is it really just the Holy Light protecting you?

wrong!
The Lightforged are constantly losing members.

However, each time they die, I secretly resurrect them using the power of the Great Lord of Light. I didn't tell you these things because I didn't want you to get carried away after knowing that you can be resurrected.

After all, every time I resurrect a Lightforged, it means I have to fight the 'Grim Reapers' from the world of the dead.

"Um?!"

Saloras's eyes widened even more, and she exclaimed:
"So it was you who carried the burden behind the scenes. But those Grim Reapers must have been very difficult to deal with, right?"

"Uh."

This question made Diakum look at him strangely, and after a few seconds, he nodded and said:
"The taste is indeed quite good."

Kyrian is like blue ice cream with a wonderful vanilla flavor, while Maldraxxus is like a plate of stir-fried chili peppers, raw and scorching.

We haven't encountered the Night Fae elves or the Revendreth Sinners yet, perhaps because the Lightforged don't go to those two places after they die.

He even gave it a review, just like a food critic who knows how to get along with people!

Okay, Saloras roughly guessed the whole process of the so-called battle with "Death". Basically, Diakum secretly resurrected a Lightforged, and the Death World sent someone to collect the debt, only to be swallowed up by the Devourer of Worlds.

Since it didn't actually involve a real battle, even the twins didn't know that Dick had such a secret.

"No wonder Irelia told me that she had flashbacks of her life several times, but she still managed to return to the human world through her strong will and the blessing of the Holy Light. It wasn't just the child's imagination; she really had died several times."

Saloras said in a low voice.

"Several times? You underestimate Irelia!"

Dick complained:
"She has a death record of more than ten. She is reckless and belligerent. No matter what happens, she starts with a holy storm. But she seems to have become much more composed recently."

“Yes, if she hasn’t grown after going through so much, how can she shoulder the burden of the Draenei clan in the future?”

The archbishop smiled, then couldn't help but cough.

This prompted Diakum to look at her with concern and say:
"You didn't Lightforge Kurul with Auress? You chose a higher difficulty level?"

"Yes, Kazloga has also been captured and brought back."

Saloras smiled and said:
"It almost escaped. It turns out that both of Kazak's generals have excellent war sense, but how should I put it? I'm still better."

I won't let Kaz'roga step into the light; perhaps it would be a better attempt to let it embrace the shadows.

If we intend to save Ereduin from the corruption of fel energy, then we should give them more options. Holy light is too dazzling and too bright for demons, but shadow is just as good.

They don't need to change their fanaticism and destructiveness; they can simply hide in the shadows and continue doing evil.

“This is something I should have done.” Dick bent down and kissed Saloras’s forehead. He said:
“But I have many affairs to attend to, so I can only entrust them to you. Now, your void power is even greater than mine, so perhaps I should address you as ‘Sir’.”

"If this makes you happy."

Saloras let out the characteristic laugh of a "bad woman," and the two then boarded a shuttle to the Illidari flagship.

As he boarded the fel-powered warship, the archbishop asked again:
“You just said that you used the war powers of the Lightsworn Lords to resurrect the Lightforged, which should only apply to your faction members, but the Illidari have absolutely no connection with us.”

Even if the Star Hunters join us now, we can't use our war powers to extend to the members who died in battle before.

How then can you resurrect General Autocris?

"Demon Hunters use fel energy. They have their own path. Theoretically, Demon Hunters, like demons, possess 'immortality.' Even if they are cut into five pieces, they can still be resurrected with the help of fel energy."

Diakum stroked his chin and said:

"If Auturis had been killed directly in the Twisting Nether, there would have been nothing I could do; the souls of these half-demons would have returned to the Fel Realm as well. But the traitors used the Odachi Warblade to extract his soul, and by some twist of fate, he ended up in the world of the dead."

This makes it feasible.

Demon Hunters are indeed not Warriors of Light, so they cannot be resurrected using War Powers, but we can be more 'brutal'! The great cycle of life and death has not yet been broken, yet it is already teetering on the brink of collapse.

If the god of life is willing to offer some assistance to his most devoted son of the Witcher, then theoretically, Auturis's soul could be brought back.

After all, given the rigid constraints of the Death World, Alturis should have only just arrived in the Eternal City. He hasn't been arbitrated yet, and he still has a chance to return.

If it goes to arbitration, even I will have to put in a lot of effort.

“Every time I hear you talk about these things in the world of the dead, it’s as if you’ve actually been there. Your knowledge of the details of that world is astonishing.”

Saloras remarked:
"Perhaps you truly are someone who has returned from the other side."

"That's a bad omen."

Diakum patted Saloras on the shoulder before striding toward the ongoing memorial service.

As Illidan turned around, he heard a muffled thud, and several demon hunters abruptly stood up.

Although they couldn't see it, they could clearly sense that the Watchers had lifted the lid of Auturis's coffin and opened the sealed pod that should have been sent into the Star Sea.

Blanch!
Even if you are a saintly vigilant, you cannot blaspheme the dead! At the very least, don't do it in front of us!

Several demon hunters even drew their weapons, while the mourning demon slayers stared wide-eyed, unable to understand what this incredibly powerful Saint Diakum was about to do.

“Illidan, you were once a druid. Do you remember the chanting of the moon goddess that Cenarius taught you?”

Dick glanced at the condition of Alturis's corpse, then turned to Illidan and said something. The Starhunter's expression changed slightly. Powerful beings naturally appreciate each other, and they don't even need to exchange many words. Illidan already knew what Diakum wanted to do.

He hesitated for a moment and said:
"The Moon Goddess won't help! The most important aspect of the Moon Goddess faith is that the great cycle of life and death cannot be disturbed, which is why the Kaldorei are so disgusted with the undead. You are asking the Moon Goddess to actively break her own divinity, and She cannot do that."

"No, He can."

Diakum whispered to Illidan:

"The cycle of life and death has essentially come to a standstill. I can't tell you more, but if Lady Elune wants to reconnect with her 'sister,' she'll have to use some unconventional methods."

Death is growing in numbers, Illidan.

Every death in the material world makes the Shadow Realms stronger, and it's only a matter of time before the great cycle of life and death becomes unbalanced; that point is fast approaching.

The moon goddess can no longer try to maintain this dilapidated system; she must rebuild it!

Pray to Elune.

Let her gaze fall here, and I'll handle the rest.

This isn't just about whether Autolyse can be resurrected; believe me, it's an attempt at something much deeper.

"If you insist."

Illidan took a deep breath.

He was willing to try this for his brothers in arms, and if it could save every fallen warrior, Illidan would kneel in the vastness of space forever.

He would even do it with a smile.

He knelt on one knee before Autolyss's coffin and recited scriptures as he had in his youth.

Illidan was a very talented and gifted elf, and he possessed the legendary amber eyes.

The last elf with amber eyes was Azshara.

He initially studied nature magic under Cenarius along with his brother, but unfortunately switched to arcane magic and became a Moon Warden. Later, under some sense of righteous sacrifice, he resolutely entered the world of fel magic.

His past was complicated, but he was indeed a man of faith. Lady Elune watched over him, and she watched over all the Kaldorei. So Illidan's call in the starry sea soon brought down a faint ray of moonlight.

Diakum walked in.

No one knows how he communicated with the moon goddess, but a moment later, the light truly enveloped Auturis's wounded corpse, and life force was infused into it.

The deity who holds the power of life is calling the dead souls back to the material world, which is undoubtedly a provocation against the majesty of death. As Auturis's soul is pulled back to reality, an angry "battle angel" also appears.

Well, or perhaps "Fighting Little Blue Man" would be a more fitting name.

It was a Kyrian "Saint Jai" clad in holy armor, possessing enormous wings, and wielding a holy spear, glaring at these bastards who were disrupting the will of death before her. When her gaze fell upon Diakum, the anger in her eyes transformed into a deep-seated hatred.

"It's you again! Diakum Zastins, the 'Desecrator of Death'!"

The Saint-Jer roared in a voice only she and Diakum could hear:

"You have repeatedly interfered with the will of death by virtue of the Holy Light's favor! Do you really think that the Fortress of Ascension can't do anything to you? You madman!"

Diakum stared at her.

Other living beings cannot see this Kyrian Valkyrie at all, because the living cannot walk the path of the dead, and naturally cannot share the vision of the dead.

The vigilant man was not angered by the other person's rebuke; he simply said calmly:

"That's a privilege granted to the Lightforged Chapter by the Holy Light. Their souls never belonged to you from the beginning. You're just exploiting loopholes in the crude rules set by the Firstborn! The walkers of the six Forces each have their own destiny."

The gates of the Highest Heaven will soon open, which will be the final destination for all those who walk the Holy Light.

At that time, you will have to return as much as you 'stole' from the Holy Light!

But I have no intention of arguing with you about these powers of the Force, 'Loyal Saint' Devos, step back.

Your emotions are out of control; it's dangerous to be so agitated in front of me.

I have no intention of fighting you, and you shouldn't ask for trouble.

After all, in my opinion, the so-called 'promotion' of the Fortress of Ascension, like the martial arts possessed by you laughable Saints, has long since become a mere formality.

"Insanity!"

Loyal Saint was enraged.

She was too lazy to say anything more to this Holy Light thug who had repeatedly defied destiny; Bastion had already lost several Ascended because of his evil deeds.

Moreover, this guy also possesses the power of the void, and the Sea of ​​No Light once launched an invasion of the Fortress of Ascension, a brutal war that still causes the Holy Land great sorrow.

So, under Diakum's regretful yet "eager" gaze, DeVos unleashed his anger.

Minutes later, as Diakum expressionlessly fed the torn-off pair of blue "Wings of Saints" to Twilight's Hammer, the Suffering Altruis also took a breath in a daze at that moment, and the demon hunters and demon slayers around him exclaimed in surprise.

"Resurrection" is an absolute miracle in the material world.

But now, they have witnessed a miracle.

This filled the demon slayers with awe as they looked at Diakum.

But only Saloras sensed the battle that had gone unnoticed. As the demon hunters helped the still-dazed Alturis sit up from his coffin, the archbishop stepped forward and whispered:

"You just used a cursed spell imbued with malevolent energy. What did you do to the 'Grim Reaper' of that world of death?"

"To sow a seed of doubt, in an attempt to bring true 'ascension' to the empty and pathetic Fortress of Ascension."

The vigilant whispered:

"The highest heavens are too empty. They need a group of people who truly belong to the Holy Light. How can the true, good and beautiful belong in the world of death?"

Holy light!

Only the Holy Light is qualified to forge a higher heaven.

However, it must be said that the Kyrians are quite intimidating in appearance. If the Holy Light needs angels to guide people through hardship, then let us bring those angels that will captivate the people of Light.”
